The snail won... death really was inevitable.
Cool pixel art and sound. This game is very nice to play!
Really satisfying to play, with the tricks and grinding. I really got a sense of speed and it was fun to try and pull off tricks when I was going so fast. The tutorial at the start was a nice touch, too. One suggestion would be to add a couple more types of trick so the gameplay has a bit more variety. Overall, really nice work!
Better to use same pixel size for all sprites. Great mechanic for the skater feels fun to do.
The snail got me. Multiple times. On the last run I just closed the game so it can never get me now. And since I'm immortal I guess I won :D Really cool little game though. I like the tutorial. Especially that there is just one button that is shown every time :D
Lovely Game!, Really enjoyed going super fast and having a short tutorial in the beginning really helped getting into how to play. The art style was very neat but found it quite hard to discern between obstacles and the background because of it. All and all really cool game!
I like pixel art. The look is beautiful and I wanted to play right away. gameplay was good. I hope my african snail didn't see this.
Lol, that's quite funny one xd Good job. I only wish interactible objects (ramps, obstacles, etc.) were more visible. Some outline maybe? Especially for the first few tries I had a problem to distinguish them. But overall it's quite enjoyable to play.
I'm Gail and I just got snailed, but not before I rode some sweet rails. I can appreciate how the game is randomly generated, very nice. And the game clearly visualizes important stuff, like what the increase in speed will be and then when you get it, and that the snail destroys everything and you can see the debree it makes before you can see the snail itself. A very fun game to play!
The pixel art is very good and the idea is fun. But I am so bad at this game. So very bad :D Still, great idea and fun score attack game!
It was a little hard to tell the difference between the obstacles and the background, but the art was very pretty and the game has a great concept. Overall, very well done!
Very cool game! I love the artwork, especially dying animation. The music is nice too. I wish the snail was slower at the start, since I died multiple times right at the beginning. The timing on releasing space button after big jump is not clear to me. But after some time I managed to get a semi-decent result. Good job!

So bizarre that a giant snail chases you lol, is this a reference to something or just random...?
Satisfying to nail tricks and build up speed, like the art style and everything is nicely presented. Cool death animation :)
I wasn't a fan of the tutorial format, I found it was too easy to miss stuff because I thought the game had started to I was bashing spacebar. But once I realised how it worked and restarted, I found that everything was presented clearly.
As others have mentioned I also found the obstacles a bit hard to discern from the background, especially at high speed.
Nice entry :)
So bizarre and funny! loved the art style
Very funny and also fun to play. When you got on a roll, you could pull off some great combos! Love the snail and death animation - super funny! I feel the background was a little bit distracting and was hard to see Gail at times, but overall the artwork looked really nice :)
Super fun game! Love the art style and the music as well as game mechanics :) Great job!
